Happy Hour, the highlight of most days but hard to find in Toronto! A good happy hour in my books is one that has great deals on food and drinks AND starts at a time where you can actually take advantage of it. But sadly, not all happy hours are created equally.

So here’s my list of happy hours in Toronto that I think are actually worth checking out. I’ve also included places that feature deals on food and drinks on specific days.

If I missed any, please let me know and I’ll add them to the list. I’ll try to keep this list as updated as I can!
